Among those convicted only 113 are over the age of 65, who violated the ban on leaving their homes.

Among those convicted over the past weekend are three people who violated the pet walk rule, as well as four who did not comply with the ban on gatherings of more than two people in a public place.

In some cases, the fines imposed were immediately paid by the citizens, while others will likely be collected after the appeal process. The government decree lists the acts as misdemeanors for which a fine of between 50,000 and 150,000 dinars can be imposed.

In Celarevo, people were cutting down trees along with minors
